Prime Day has arrived and with it a surge of traffic from deal hungry shoppers to Amazon. Bargains on TVs, laptops and coffee makers on Amazon’s deals page will be tempting. In the past, Amazon’s deals page has been the go-to for many Prime Day shoppers. But the retail festival also attracts many targeted shoppers focused on specific products and they will be heading to the search bar.
On a typical day, almost two-thirds (64%) of clicks or more are on the top three products returned. Most shoppers will not look past the first page of results. Brands which have invested in key positions will benefit today from increased shopper traffic. Which are they?
